I decided to have a got at doing the Ismaki sketch this week as the layout is well out of my comfort zone - not keen on diamonds!Thanks to the papertake challenge I am in a lime/green and lilac/purplie mood so my card would qualify for that challenge (but I've already done one!). I also managed to get a sparkly bit on the card, fulfilling the extra on the isamki challenge.
I
have use Papermania's Pastel papers and Olivine Elegance papers as the backgrounds, and mounted a K&Co Grand Adhesion glittery flower onto K&Co papers. I have used some small glittery flowers on the points of the diamond.Maths is not my strong point so getting the dimensions for the diamond right was quite hard - lots of altering!
I have been a little stamp happy over the last few months and not really used embellishments as a focal point for my cards. When I saw these grand Adhesion embellishments I just had to have them. They work really well with the Creative Tones papers from Papermania and pastel coloured pearlised card. I have just finished the detail off by adding gems.
Sadly they are 3D so they didn't scan into too well.
Hope you like them,

Your Ismaki piece is lovely. I think the embellishment rather than an image is what makes it. I see that nice lime paper on one of the others too. I am not "big" on these type of embellishments, but perhaps its just I don't have the right touch with them. Very nice.
they are gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I love the flowers.
I was going to send you some of the blues, but see you have your own!
gorgeous card, love the colour combo - fabulous :-)x
